OVERVIEW
Texas Tech University (TTU) is a major comprehensive, multi-faceted research university with more than 33,000 students pursuing undergraduate, graduate, or
professional degrees in 13 different instructional schools and colleges. TTU enrollment includes students from 250 of the 254 counties in Texas, all 50 states plus Puerto
Rico and the District of Columbia, and more than 104 countries. Approximately 92.7% of TTU undergraduate students are Texans, and about 78.6% of students have
home addresses more than 100 miles away from Lubbock. In addition, approximately 6,067 or 18.3% of students are enrolled in graduate or professional programs. TTU
offers the most comprehensive academic programs in the state on a single campus. It remains the only institution in the nation to offer eight doctoral programs in
agriculture without the benefit of land-grant support.
TTU provides educational services to the residents of the Texas Hill Country and West Texas. TTU has established academic centers in Junction, Fredericksburg, Marble
Falls/Highland Lakes, and El Paso, along with an academic center in Waco through its University Center at McLennan Community Center.
SIGNIFICANT CONSIDERATIONS
-Participation and Success
TTU is committed to achieving and exceeding the participation goals established by the state through a focused and sustained strategy that leads to academic success and
inclusive excellence across all populations of the university. The overall enrollment at TTU has grown significantly, and specifically the number of black and Hispanic
students increased from 683 and 2,339 in 1998, respectively, to 1,830 and 6,303 in 2013. Furthermore, the Education Trust has recognized TTU for making significant
progress in improving black and Hispanic student graduate rates, and in closing the graduation rate gap with white students. Additionally, each year approximately 24%
of TTU freshmen are first-generation college students, garnering acclaim from The Best Colleges as one of the six best colleges to attend for first-generation college
students. The university maximizes its allocation of scholarships by consistently seeking opportunities to award more funds to students. For instance, TTU has
repurposed its scholarship funds to include scholarship awards to students who are in the top 25% of their high school class. Scholarships have also been created to
attract transfer students.
TTU continues its efforts to be the most innovative institution in terms of outreach and enrollment programs. Currently, TTU offers programs such as “Gateway,” “Tech
Transfer Acceleration Program,” and “Military and Veteran Programs.” These emerging programs help attract a broad diversity of students, including those who have
attended a community college, under-represented students, and those who have served in the armed forces. TTU strives to serve veterans and veteran dependents by
offering guidance and assistance as well as an overall positive college experience; in fact, TTU has been designated as a military friendly institution and was recently
recognized in Military Advanced Education’s 2012 Guide to Top Military Friendly Colleges and Universities. The university was also the first in the state to be
recognized as a Purple Heart University for its commitment to veteran students. In addition, TTU created the Bachelor of Applied Arts & Sciences that will allow active
and former military and veteran students to transfer college credit hours and military training credit earned through their participation in military academic and technical
programs. Texas Tech actively and successfully pursues transfer students, as illustrated in a 2012 U.S. News & World Report in which TTU was ranked 16th for most
transfer students among all schools listed on the annual “Best Colleges” list. The 2012 rankings are based on data from 2010 and indicate that while the average number
of transfer students for all universities in the report was 467, TTU enrolled 2,447 transfer students. This high rate of transfer students can be attributed to the strong
connection TTU facilitates with community colleges state-wide.

-Excellence and Research
TTU is building momentum toward its goal of becoming a major nationally competitive research university through its growth, expansion of research, and focus on
excellence. TTU is designated as eligible for annual distributions from the Texas National Research University Fund. This designation is the first critical step to
becoming a great public research university by 2020 or thereabouts, a path articulated by the ten-year strategic plan titled “Making it Possible---2010-2020 Strategic
Plan.” This document is the foundation for TTU to become a research university equivalent to an Association of American University (AAU) national research
university. Over the next six years, the university plans to add 500 new faculty, 500 new staff, and 270-million square feet of new space. Embodied in these plans and
aspirations are specific priorities tied to expanding and enhancing research and creative scholarship, and furthering outreach and engagement. Specifically, there are
recommendations to engage the corporate sector and the Lubbock and West Texas communities; particularly promoting technology transfer and economic development.
It is estimated that implementation of this plan will have more than a $2 billion economic impact on the city of Lubbock, the greater West Texas region, and the state of
Texas.
-Technology Transfer and Economic Development
The strategic plan described above has specific measures tied to commercialization, business engagement, and economic impact. TTU provides education and research
vital to the success of high technology businesses that are crucial to Texas and the nation. The university is developing a research park, an incubator and accelerator
program, and graduate level programs in the business and law schools around experiential learning opportunities in entrepreneurship, commercialization, and spin-outs of
university-based intellectual property. Technology transfer efforts are now closely tied to corporate relations and economic development activity in Lubbock, West Texas
and the state. Supporting these efforts is the Northwest Texas Small Business Development Center, which is located at Texas Tech and has extensive outreach to the
business community.
-Partnerships and Outreach
Partnerships and collaborations provide another method of leveraging resources. TTU is committed to collaborating with its sister institutions, the TTU Health Sciences
Center and Angelo State University, in ways that will benefit faculty and students, as well as the region and the state. Several years ago, TTU recognized that need and
began following a strategy of expanding access in Texas by enhancing recruitment activities which focus on underrepresented groups. TTU is one of 76 U.S. colleges
and universities to receive the prestigious Carnegie Community Engagement honor for service learning and community outreach.
STRATEGIC THEMES AND INITIATIVES
TTU’s aspiration is to become a prominent, cost-effective, student-focused public research university, recognized as a top institution in Texas and among the top 100 in
the United States. Supporting that challenging aspiration is a solid core of themes which are included in the TTU mission statement. These themes reflect the strategic
choices being made: “As a public research university, Texas Tech advances knowledge through innovative and creative teaching, research, and scholarship. The
university is dedicated to student success by preparing learners to be ethical leaders for a diverse and globally competitive workforce. The university is committed to
enhancing the cultural and economic development of the state, nation, and world." The joint TTU System and TTU strategic priorities are as follows: increase enrollment
and promote student success, strengthen academic quality and reputation, expand and enhance research and creative scholarship, further outreach and engagement, and
increase and maximize resources.

-Provide the best possible instruction to all students at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels while controlling cost
Over the next decade, TTU’s goal is to increase enrollment to approximately 40,000 students while maintaining high standards of quality and controlling cost. The
university’s goal is to become a national research university with an emphasis on teaching and research in engineering, science, technology, and mathematics while
continuing its focus on excellence in other academic areas. TTU will seek to improve undergraduate education by adding faculty to reduce class size, especially in
departments where student demand is high, by increasing the proportion of these courses taught by senior faculty, and by providing more graduate assistants who can give
students additional one-on-one tutorial opportunities. Both faculty and graduate students receive advanced training through the Teaching, Learning and Professional
Development Center.
-Attract students who are unmatched for their talent and diversity
TTU seeks to expand student financial assistance by making the level of academic scholarship awards more competitive, increasing need-based grant funds, and
enhancing the professional services offered in Student Financial Aid and Student Business Services. TTU will continue to promote access by expanding recruitment
efforts across the state, especially among high achievers and culturally diverse student populations. TTU has implemented the Red Raider Guarantee Program to ensure
that tuition and fees are paid for students whose family annual income is less than $40,000. In addition, the University is in its seventh year of the “Graduate on Time
Program,” which has resulted in increased semester credit hours completed by students and an increase in the number of degrees awarded. TTU also provides excellent
financial aid packages for transfer students.
-Grow the faculty while enhancing its quality and diversifying its composition
Over the next biennium, TTU seeks to add new faculty who will enhance the academic quality of the institution and improve the research enterprise and classroom
experience for undergraduate students. A number of special initiatives will also be implemented to diversify the faculty by hiring qualified applicants from
underrepresented groups, including women.
-Become one of the nation’s top 100 centers for research
Within six years, TTU intends to increase its sponsored research and reach a goal of $65 million, becoming a top 100 research university. Achieving AAU-like status will
require a sustained effort of advancement, which has already begun. Currently, TTU is actively developing a heightened research culture, which includes recruiting
additional faculty, building a deeper research infrastructure, and supporting research clusters of focused effort to benefit Texas, the Southwest, and the nation. Areas
targeted for expansion of research include water resources, cloud computing practices and security, cybersecurity, wind energy, bioinformatics, food safety, cotton
research, oil and gas production and environmental concerns, energetic materials, pulsed power and power electronics, and nanophotonics.
-Increase funding for research libraries, equipment, and other services
TTU’s libraries, members of the Association of Research Libraries, must be sustained and funds must be expended to strengthen collections (emphasizing our research
priorities), expand or make more efficient use of space, protect deteriorating books and journals, and enhance the automated catalog systems. TTU will expand
allocations for specialized research equipment by maintaining a continuing resource fund from growth in indirect costs recoveries.

-Internationalize the university experience at TTU
Today, more than ever, it is imperative that TTU integrate global perspectives and promote international experience as part of its core missions. TTU will continue
providing international study opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. The study abroad programs, especially at the Texas Tech Center in Seville, Spain,
will continue to attract more students each semester. In addition, the Center for Active Learning and Undergraduate Engagement (CALUE) provides opportunities for
students to participate in undergraduate research, internships and study abroad to enhance their undergraduate experience and provide a globally diverse experience.
-Background checks
In accordance with Texas Education Code, Section 51.215 and Texas Government Code, Section 411.097, all staff positions (including temporary employees) are
classified as security sensitive level I positions and require criminal background checks prior to employment, promotion, reclassification, transfer or direct appointment.
In addition, student positions classified as security sensitive level I or II require criminal background checks to be conducted prior to employment, promotion,
reclassification or transfer. All faculty tenure and non-tenure track are classified as security sensitive level I positions and require criminal background checks prior to
employment.
MAJOR AREAS OF CONCERN
The major areas of concern in this appropriations request are those that directly affect TTU's ability to successfully continue its vital missions of teaching, research, and
public service.
-Formulas
In order to maintain quality academic and research programs, the Texas Legislature should fund the formula recommendations at the highest rate. The top priorities for
the 84th legislative session should be to provide sufficient funds to cover the growth in enrollments statewide and increase the formula funding rates to maintain current
purchasing power. Increases in state funding will directly impact the costs that must be passed on to the students enrolled at the university.
-Competitive Knowledge Funds
Increase in proportion to growth of total research expenditures among eligible institutions. This line item impacts the level and quality of service provided to our
students, including research productivity, skilled faculty members, course offerings, and graduation rates.
-Research Development Fund
Continued funding of RDF is critical to the future goals of TTU. The funding should be increased in proportion to the growth of the restricted research expenditures
statewide.
-Funding for Capital Facilities
For Texas Tech University to meet its increased research activities, state support for capital projects is vital.The Fall 2013 THECB Space Model for Texas Tech

University indicated the largest Research Space Deficit (-252,010 E&G SF) the university has ever experienced; furthermore, the Research Space Deficit has steadily
increased starting in 2011 (-151,049 E&G SF) and 2012 (-178,373 E&G SF). In FY 2013 and 2014, the university significantly increased its new faculty hires, with a
large percentage coming from engineering and other laboratory intensive disciplines. The university anticipates a continued need for Multi-Disciplinary Research space
as it pursues its mission to significantly increase the number of research faculty needed to become a world-class research institution. New facilities, like the ESB II, can
create the necessary collaborative/non-departmental research spaces that are vital to this effort. Research Lab capital projects, including ESB II/Engineering
Renovations, will also address specific infrastructure limitations with existing facilities that are not conducive to meet current research lab requirements. Specific issues
include, but are not limited to, the need for HVAC temperature control, humidity control, vibration sensitivity, increased lab safety, and integrated security systems.
-Insurance Premium Increases
It is requested that the Legislature provide sufficient appropriations to cover full funding of health insurance premiums, plus increases in the premiums for the Uniform
Group Insurance Program (UGIP) for each year of the biennium. The maintenance of current insurance benefits are critical to maintaining our competitiveness for
faculty and staff. In addition, it is requested that institutions of higher education receive an estimated appropriation for UGIP, as do other state agencies.
-Special Item Support
Special Item funding, which provides seed money and matching funds, has been used to leverage millions of dollars of additional non-state funding to support research
and public service in such areas as rangeland management, food and fiber production, energy, water, nutrition, and wine marketing. However, because TTU is neither a
land-grant institution nor a recipient of support from the Available University Fund, the quality of graduate education programs is dependent upon the continued funding
of special items, especially in the areas of agriculture, engineering, and human sciences. Special Item funding also supports the museum and other academic centers at the
university.
-Five Percent General Revenue Reductions
In preparation for responding to the 10% general revenue-related base reduction schedule, the institution has evaluated all general revenue funding and deemed every
appropriated general revenue dollar critical to the missions of teaching, research and public service. Because of limited alternatives, the institution chose to propose
reductions of all general revenue strategies. These proposed reductions will impact the core operations and delivery of services.
TTU has been very diligent in implementing cost saving measures while maintaining the quality of education. TTU has one of the lowest costs of instruction amongst all
the research and emerging research institutions, and also maintains very low administrative cost. Therefore, it will be very difficult to implement further reductions that
will not affect the quality of education or limiting access to education.
FUNDING REQUEST FOR EXCEPTIONAL ITEMS
-Retention Plus
Request: FY 2016 $3,000,000; FY 2017 $3,000,000
This funding request is to enhance support for strategic initiatives proven to promote undergraduate student retention and graduation. These initiatives will lower
time-to-degree and total semester credit hours required for undergraduate degree completion, resulting in increased efficiency and effectiveness of state appropriations

for all undergraduates attending TTU. Through the establishment of a new data support and coordination office, TTU has already invested over $350,000 in annual
funding that makes tangible its commitment to rethink how it encourages and equips student success. The requested funds will help to extend efforts to quickly engage
the balance of the campus and regional communities and incorporate the insight of its members’ experiences, opinions, and ideas. Such speed will be critical in gaining
and sustaining buy-in from stakeholders with many priorities and responsibilities, especially when change research indicates a general skepticism of long-term, large scale
change projects. Building on the process modeling, data analysis, creative thinking, program design, technological development, and organizational support generated,
these initiatives will implement an efficient, coordinated, “big data” collection and analysis system that will undergird and propel the institution through the challenges
inherent in transformational retention and success goals. These efforts will create a sustained institutional standard for collaborative, systemic, and continual
improvement leading to enhanced retention, persistence, and graduation rates across all populations of students. As a permanent engine for data-driven institutional
innovation, this added support will permit the University to continually, responsively, and proactively evolve toward higher levels of student success across all segments
of the campus.
-Small Business Development Center
Request: FY 2016 $198,000; FY 2017 $198,000
The Northwest Texas Small Business Development Center (SBDC) plans to slow the growing economic and demographic gap between rural and urban Texas by
strengthening the economic health of the remote areas of the region. A primary element in accomplishing this goal is to provide an expanded rural outreach of small
business counseling programs to assist existing and start-up businesses in the extreme rural areas of the 95 counties served maintain and grow their competiveness. This
request specifically targets counseling staff salaries, modest operational expenditures, and necessary travel costs across the region.
-Sustainable Land and Water Use for Semi-Arid Texas
Request: FY 2016 $1,000,000; FY 2017 $1,000,000
This funding request is designed to enhance education and research to provide a comprehensive roadmap that will lead to durable agricultural and natural resource
management in light of declining water availability and changes in rural and urban land use. The western third of Texas has low rainfall relative to high evaporative
demand, resulting in low agricultural productivity where irrigation is not available. Irrigation from groundwater greatly amplifies agricultural productivity and
contributes approximately $8.7 billion in direct and added value as well as nearly 60,000 jobs to the Texas High Plains. Nonetheless, the region is faced with increasing
water scarcity, competition among energy, agriculture and municipalities for water, frequent droughts, degradation of land most visibly manifested as dust storms, and
population shifts from rural to urban areas.
-Genetic Resource Collection
Request: FY 2016 $495,000; FY 2017 $495,000
The Natural Science Research Laboratory (NSRL) archives, in perpetuity, biological samples and geo-referenced data obtained from natural populations. These samples
provide unlimited opportunities for grant-based research, dissertations, and theses. The NSRL is one of the most significant natural history research collections at a
university and one of the largest mammal and genetic collections in the world. It includes specimens from 57 countries, with a major emphasis on Texas, southwestern
U.S., Central and South America. Integral to research and education activities of the NSRL is the Genetic Resources Collection (GRC). The GRC has >320,000 genetic
samples used by TTU, state, national, and international toxicology, niche-modeling, environmental assessments, public health, etc. The GRC is valuable to the State of
Texas: 1) as a temporal collection of biological material from state-owned lands, 2) as an information resource for Texas Parks & Wildlife, Texas State Public Health
Services, and Texas DOT, 3) by supporting research efforts of scientists at many Texas universities, and 4) by education students of Biological and Museum Sciences for

careers in research and academia.
To meet challenges of the 21st century for the growing research and educational missions of national and international scientific communities, State of Texas, and TTU,
requires the GRC to continue to expand, improve, and update its resources and holdings. In particular, advances in genomic research and bioinformatics stipulate that the
GRC: 1) install a liquid nitrogen storage system to ensure long-term preservation of research material, 2) add research and support personnel to curate, maintain, and
provide improved access to research material and data, 3) expand holdings to provide greater opportunities for future research, and 4) increase opportunities for
undergraduate and graduate research and student training.
-Increased Tuition Revenue Bond Debt Service
Request: FY 2016 $12,970,446; FY 2017 $12,970,446
TTU is requesting authorization for the following Tuition Revenue Bonds:
1.Experimental Science Building II

This strategy provides funding for the Child Development Research Center (CDRC) in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies (HDFS). The center
has six classrooms providing full day services for children six weeks to six years of age and serves as a training, mentoring, and observation site. Each year approximately
400 students from over 12 disciplines observe teachers and children in the CDRC. An additional 275 students from across TTU/HSC have hands-on experiences in the
center each year. Our expansion in 2006 has allowed for an increase in the number of teachers-in-training who can be mentored in the center, which assists in the attraction
and retention of students in Early Childhood Education.
The center also serves as a research site for faculty interested in young children. Current research studies include faculty and graduate students from HDFS, Education,
Psychology, Mass Communication, and Nutrition. The CDRC holds an accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The university’s
early childhood teacher education program housed in the HDFS department is also accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Educators. Critical to
this accreditation is the fact that students are provided with both coursework and hands-on experience with children in the age groups included in the certificate. Few
programs in the state of Texas or across the nation offer an infant/toddler component; thus, the CDRC provides nationally recognized excellence for Closing the Gaps.
EXTERNAL/INTERNAL FACTORS IMPACTING STRATEGY:
Internal Factors: In order to maintain accreditation and licensing standards, low teacher/child ratios are necessary in each classroom. In addition, qualified, degreed
teachers are needed because the CDRC serves as a site for training students; therefore, it is vital to offer competitive salaries to retain quality teachers.
External factors: The CDRC is dependent upon the parents’ ability to pay their child’s daycare tuition costs. Tuition increases negatively impact the diversity of children
attending the CDRC, thus affecting the research as well as the quality of education for the TTU students and the children.

The Infrastructure Support formula distributes funding associated with plant-related formulas and utilities. This formula is driven by the predicted square feet for
universities’ educational and general activities produced by the Coordinating Board Space Projection Model. The portion of the formula related to utilities is adjusted to
reflect differences in unit costs for purchased utilities, including electricity, natural gas, water and wastewater, and thermal energy.

STRATEGY DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
The Vietnam Center and Archive contribute directly to the research, teaching, recruiting, and enrollment missions of Texas Tech University. The project promotes the study
of the American Vietnam experience, the Vietnam War, and collects, preserves, and makes accessible related historical materials. The project involves a dynamic set of
faculty, staff, students, scholars, veterans, and other participants. The Vietnam Center hosts annual conferences where individuals with vastly different viewpoints come
together to discuss and learn from one another. These events include students, educators, and wartime participants from Texas and around the world. The Vietnam Archive
provides students, teachers, and researchers in Texas with access to the richest set of educational resources available outside of the US National Archives and has made a
large portion of them freely available to the global community through the Internet. The Vietnam Center contributes to recruiting and enrollment by providing direct
support to academic programs at Texas Tech, attracting students interested in these areas of study. The Vietnam Center also leverages contacts in Vietnam to bring students
from Vietnam to TTU while academic connections with Vietnam have led to academic exchanges and joint research projects. Essential to the Center’s success has been the
very strong support of the university leadership, the Lubbock community, the State of Texas, the US government, and the US veteran community.

STRATEGY DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
This line is focused on enhancing profitability, productivity, safety, and security of agricultural and natural resource enterprises in Texas. A decreasing groundwater
resource, escalating input costs, uncertainties about farm and trade policies, and rapidly expanding global competition are affecting the economic viability of the Texas
agricultural and natural resources industries, increasing the need for research and technology transfer to meet these challenges. Texas Tech scientists are uniquely
positioned to provide the interdisciplinary research needed to enhance the viability of Texas agriculture, entrepreneurial skills of producers, and job creation in rural and
urban communities. Through cooperative efforts with Texas AgriLife Research and Extension, the USDA-Agricultural Research Service, and the agri-business community,
Texas Tech is developing nationally recognized programs and leveraging state funds for increased federal funding. Programs supported by this line advance the Texas
Tech strategic priority to enhance and expand research through experimental studies in food, fiber, natural resources, and environmental sciences, as well as application and
commercialization of research findings. Specific research thrusts include: sustainable water, land, and resource management; value-added product development; rangeland,
crop, forage, livestock, and wildlife management systems; food product safety; farm policy and trade; plant genomics; and textile technology.

STRATEGY DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
To enhance the Texas economy by creating and transferring intellectual property and by developing more effective workforces and marketing strategies. Funding from this
line item is directed to efforts to stimulate the economy of Texas by emphasizing areas of high economic value to the state. As a research seed program, this funding has
been instrumental in providing pilot data crucial to leveraging external funding from federal agencies and private foundations, as well as the endorsement of industry
partners and local, state and federal governments. Findings are used to create new knowledge enhancing the human condition for citizens of the State, with the intended
outcome of increased productivity, reduced burden on social and governmental services, and improved family relations. Marketing research on rural tourism, the “greening”
of the hospitality and healthcare industry, and preferences in organic food and food safety all provide important new data on evolving markets and improving marketing
efficiency. The latter have advanced our understanding of local food industries, attracted new investors to Texas, and developed sophisticated techniques to improve
product satisfaction, food safety, and profitability nationwide. This funding is also used to commercially develop and advance promising technologies, enabling TTU to
bring forward opportunities of significant potential economic benefit to the State of Texas, the nation and globe.

STRATEGY DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
The Center for Financial Responsibility (CFR) mission is to help Texas citizens achieve personal responsibility in retirement planning, debt management and financial
literacy by conducting research, and delivery of financial knowledge to citizens, financial services professionals, fiduciaries and teachers. The CFR focuses on the financial
well-being of Texas citizens by emphasizing increasing savings and financial preparation for retirement. The CFR develops financial literacy resources to prevent
individual bankruptcies and financial hardships that negatively affect state and local economies. Texas institutions of higher education and those students graduating with
high debt loads from student loans and credit card abuse are served through research and service from the nationally recognized Red-to-Black Financial Counseling Center
(R2B) and continuing state-wide financial literacy research with Texas adults. The R2B model earns national recognition as a means of increasing retention and
matriculation rates. A third goal is to increase the number of academic programs in Personal Financial Planning (PFP) with emphasis on minority institutions throughout
Texas and focusing on availability of general education classes in personal finance to increase student body financial literacy. Expanded assistance from CFR personnel to
establish financial literacy courses and financial planning programs within minority colleges and universities throughout Texas is on-going.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
This request is to enhance support for strategic initiatives impacting undergraduate retention and graduation. The Education Trust recognized TTU for improving Black and
Hispanic student graduation rates, and closing the gap with white students. This request enhances initiatives already in place and adds others to continue this success. A
data-informed planning process will be implemented with a goal of increasing 6-year graduation rates to 70% and 1-year retention rates to 90%.
The structural changes supporting student success are in place and aligned with services through the Office of the Provost and, more specifically Vice Provost for
Undergraduate Education and Student Affairs. Support is necessary to fund the implementation of these initiatives.
TTU hopes to expand the scope and impact of practices proven to increase retention and graduation rates, including research based software to improve advising and
scheduling; summer bridge programs for first-generation students; first semester success seminars for freshmen and transfers; supplemental instruction and tutoring in
high-challenge courses, specifically in STEM fields; increased “active learning” such as undergraduate research, study abroad, and internships; interventions for students who
have stopped-out to complete degrees; development of alternative academic programs such as the Bachelors of Applied Arts and Sciences; comprehensive and
professionalized academic advisement; early warning electronic platform systems; and transfer articulation services to diminish time-to-degree and hours required for
graduation.
The use of student programming, academic interventions, and electronic platforms allows TTU to begin an unprecedented standardization of advising and retention services.
By calibrating these services to specific expectations, departments and colleges will more effectively evaluate internal retention efforts and campus-wide initiatives, based on
objective metrics and goals.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
This request is to access the enhanced funding available from the Comptroller’s SBDC Funding Formula. The Comptroller has developed a funding formula that uses a 3rd
party survey to determine the economic activity generated by the assistance provided to small businesses by the 4 SBDC state regions. The survey uses a 3 year rolling
average of results to determine the level of new job creation, job retention, and tax dollars generated to Texas from SBDC activities. These funds will be used to add new
counselor positions to expand the small business counseling and training assistance to the rural areas of NW Texas. The addition of these new counselor positions will result
in 600 new clients counseled, and 1,500 additional training attendees annually. Most importantly the addition of these new positions will result in 51 new business openings
and the addition of 395 new jobs created each year. The NW Texas Small Business Development Center provides extensive business counseling and training to the small
businesses of the 95 county service area and since 1987 has helped create 8,507 new businesses and helped create 29,722 new jobs in the region. Although many of the new
businesses opened and jobs created were in the more rural areas, the vast majority have opened in the larger population centers of the region. The small towns of NW Texas
are slowly but surely declining as a continuous out-migration of youth and talent are draining the vitality of these communities. The need to effectively assist the existing and
start-up businesses in the remote rural areas of the 95 county service areas is going to be essential to the survival of the economic health of the region.
With the large and growing gap in the competitive advantage between rural and urban Texas, the need to bring solutions to this problem is our goal. TTU has submitted all
reports to the comptroller for review. The comptroller will determine if an increase of revenue neutral appropriation is possible.

Excp 2016
Major accomplishments to date and expected over the next two years:Since program start in 1987, the NWTSBDC has assisted, through the end of FY 13, in creating 29,722
new jobs. The NWTSBDC has also assisted in opening 8,507 new businesses. The NWTSBDC has counseled over 73,940 clients and trained over 128,874 seminar
attendees.Over the next 2 years the Northwest Texas SBDC will counsel over 6,000 clients, provide training to over 7,500 small business seminar attendees, assist with over
600 new business starts, expansions and saves as well as assist in the creation of over 2,600 new jobs within the region.
Year established and funding source prior to receiving special item funding:1990 Federal and Institutional funds.
Formula funding: N/A
Non-general revenue sources of funding:
2013 $ 1,228,082 Federal Funds, $ 510,036 Institutional & other funds
2014 $ 1,288,176 Federal Funds, $ 563,216 Institutional & other funds
2015 $ 1,315,000 Federal Funds, $ 570,000 Institutional & other funds
2016 $ 1,345,000 Federal Funds, $ 575,000 Institutional & other funds
2017 $ 1,350,000 Federal Funds, $ 575,000 Institutional & other funds
Consequences of not funding:All of the Federal Funds that this program receives require either one-for-one or two-for-one matching. If this program is not funded by the State
of Texas, an equal amount of funding will be lost from Federal, Institutional and other Sources. This decrease in funding would result in a major reduction in program
services and would cause the NWTSBDC to serve 2,500 to 3,000 fewer small business clients, 5,000 to 8,000 fewer seminar attendees, create 250 to 350 fewer new
businesses and a loss of 1,200 to 1,800 new jobs created.

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
This funding request is designed to enhance education and research to provide a comprehensive roadmap that will lead to durable agricultural and natural resource
management in light of declining water availability and changes in rural and urban land use. The western third of Texas has low rainfall relative to high evaporative demand,
resulting in low agricultural productivity where irrigation is not available. Irrigation from groundwater greatly amplifies agricultural productivity and contributes
approximately $8.7 billion in direct and added value as well as nearly 60,000 jobs to the Texas High Plains. Nonetheless, the region is faced with increasing water scarcity,
competition among energy, agriculture and municipalities for water, frequent droughts, degradation of land most visibly manifested as dust storms, and population shifts from
rural to urban areas.
This funding would allow for the creation of focus teams comprised of scientists and educators from Texas Tech University ($700,000 annually) and West Texas A&M
University ($300,000 annually). Efforts will address: 1) the sustainability of crop and livestock production with diminishing groundwater supplies through genetics,
management systems, and precision irrigation; 2) soil quality to decrease wind erosion, store plant nutrients and water, and diminish the effects of soil salinity; 3) urban
landscape improvement for low impact and enhanced comfort and aesthetics; 4) rangeland and natural resource management for water, soil, vegetation, livestock production,
and wildlife sustainability; 5) education and communication of advances in land and water management; and 6) economic drivers and impacts of decisions and trends in land
use and water management.

Major accomplishments to date and expected over the next two years:We have demonstrated how landowners can choose the most economic water-conserving methods for
crops. The project will produce advanced methods of selecting and managing row crops and forages for decreased water input. Efforts in urban landscape and turf will
expand research and education on plants that use less water and contribute to environmental cooling, dust control, and human comfort. Students will be trained to become
more effective teachers and leaders of agriculture and environmental sciences. Economists will expand development and application of analytical programs that assess the
economic efficiency of crop and livestock choices and analyze region-wide socio-economic impacts of water allocation. Major outcomes will include new techniques for
water and soil conservation; student skill development; information to guide decisions affecting land and water use; recommendations for crop, soil, livestock, and water
management practices that improve and stabilize soil, improve wildlife habitat, and restore degraded lands and waterways; and analyses of regional impacts on rural
economic development and population shifts.
Year established and funding source prior to receiving special item funding:Not currently funded.
Formula funding:Not eligible.
Non-general revenue sources of funding:The requested funding will supplement a variety of grants from federal agencies on research and outreach, along with funding from
seed companies and commodity groups for boosting and applying scientific advances for specific crops.
Consequences of not funding:Not funding would limit the research impact and access of stakeholders to research and teaching activities, and hamper advances in
drought-tolerance in crops and urban plants. Understanding the socio-economics of water allocation and new methods of conservation would be delayed

DESCRIPTION / JUSTIFICATION:
The Natural Science Research Laboratory (NSRL) archives, in perpetuity, biological samples and geo-referenced data obtained from natural populations. These samples
provide unlimited opportunities for grant-based research, dissertations, and theses. The NSRL is one of the most significant natural history research collections at a university
and one of the largest mammal and genetic collections in the world. It includes specimens from 57 countries, with emphasis on Texas, southwestern U.S., Central/ South
America. Integral to research and education activities of the NSRL is the Genetic Resources Collection (GRC). The GRC has 320,000 genetic samples used by TTU, state,
national, international researchers for critical studies of genomics, zoonoses, biodiversity, population genetics, ecology, toxicology, niche-modeling, environmental
assessments and public health. The GRC is valuable to the State of Texas: 1) as a temporal collection of biological material from state-owned lands, 2) as an information
resource for Texas Parks & Wildlife, Texas State Public Health Serv., and TX DOT, 3) by supporting research efforts of scientists at many Texas universities, and 4) by
educating students of Biological/Museum Sciences for careers in research and academia. To meet challenges of the 21st century for the growing research and educational
missions of national/international scientific communities, State of Texas, and TTU, requires the GRC to continue to expand, improve, and update its resources and holdings.
In particular, advances in genomic research and bioinformatics stipulate that the GRC: 1) install a liquid nitrogen storage system to ensure long-term preservation of research
material, 2) add research and support personnel to curate, maintain, and provide improved access to research material and data, 3) expand holdings to provide greater
opportunities for future research, and 4) increase opportunities for undergraduate and graduate research and student training.

Major accomplishments to date and expected over the next two years:To date, 250 M.S. and Ph.D. students at TTU have used these research materials for their dissertations
and theses; these graduates have been remarkably successful in careers in science, education, and as members of society. Faculty and students affiliated with the NSRL have
authored 1,000 publications based on these collections. These resources were the basis of 5 NIH-funded studies investigating mammalian-borne infectious diseases, 2 NSF
studies on mammal biodiversity, and 3 DOE studies to understand the significance of dirty bombs, the Chernobyl meltdown. The level of productivity of students,
publications, and funding will increase over the next 2 years and beyond as genomic and bioinformatics research places a growing emphasis on services and resources
provided by the GRC.
Year established and funding source prior to receiving special item funding:The GRC was established in 1967. Prior funding for the NSRL and GRC has been provided by
NIH, NSF, DoE, DoD, NBS, TNC, State of Texas (line-item for the Museum, TPWD, TARP), foundations (Ben E. Keith, Helen DeVitt Jones, and James Sowell), and TTU
(Offices of the President, VPR, and Provost).
Formula funding:The 5 RAs and 2 Museum interns will generate formula funding for TTU by enrollment in graduate courses.
Non-general revenue sources of funding:N/A
Consequences of not funding:The GRC’s ability to provide research and educational opportunities is dependent on improving and increasing research holdings, providing
adequate staffing and curatorial expertise, and providing state-of-the-art preservation facilities. Failure to fund the GRC will jeopardize growth, research success, and
education endeavors of hundreds of TTU students. A vibrant GRC is crucial for competition for federal research funding and for training students in genomics,
bioinformatics, biology, and museum science.

staff offices and support space to foster Texas Tech’s growing research programs. Tuition Revenue Bond Request $87,930,000. Total Project Cost $97,700,000. FY 2016
Debt Service Requirement $7,666,138. FY 2017 Debt Service Requirement $7,666,138.
College of Engineering Expansion/Renovation-Renovate to accommodate current academic space needs including general classrooms, distance educational facilities, research
labs and office space for faculty and graduate students. Tuition Revenue Bond Request $60,840,000. Total Project Cost $67,600,000. FY 2016 Debt Service Requirement
$5,304,308. FY 2017 Debt Service Requirement $5,304,308.
Requested debt service has been estimated assuming 20-year level debt service at 6%. These assumptions have traditionally been used by all institutions of higher education
in the legislative appropriations process and are consistent with the assumptions used by the LBB and the Texas Bond Review Board in their Debt Affordability Study and in
the calculation of the State’s debt limit.
This assumption is only used in estimating the initial debt service. Following the initial appropriation, the actual debt service schedule from the actual TRB issuance are used
to request the annual TRB debt service.

(2) Mission of Special Item:
The Vietnam Center and Archive contribute directly to the research, teaching, recruiting, and enrollment missions of Texas Tech University. The project promotes the
study of the American Vietnam experience, the Vietnam War, and collects, preserves, and makes accessible related historical materials. The project involves a
dynamic set of faculty, staff, students, scholars, veterans, and other participants. The Vietnam Center hosts annual conferences where individuals with vastly different
viewpoints come together to discuss and learn from one another. These events include students, educators, and wartime participants from Texas and around the world.
The Vietnam Archive provides students, teachers, and researchers in Texas with access to the richest set of educational resources available outside of the US National
Archives and has made a large portion of them freely available to the global community through the Internet. The Vietnam Center contributes to recruiting and
enrollment by providing direct support to academic programs at Texas Tech, attracting students interested in these areas of study. The Vietnam Center also leverages
contacts in Vietnam to bring students from Vietnam to TTU while academic connections with Vietnam have led to academic exchanges and joint research projects.
Essential to the Center’s success has been the very strong support of the university leadership, the Lubbock community, the State of Texas, the US government, and
the US veteran community.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
The Vietnam Center leads the nation in collecting and preserving the history of the Vietnam War and the study of that experience through its many activities and
programs. With an archive of more than 25 million pages, the Vietnam Archive is the largest such collection in the U.S. with the exception of the U.S National
Archives. The Center engages in outreach to Texas veterans and collects and preserves their history so that students and teachers in Texas always remember the
service and sacrifice of Texans during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam Center is also an official partner with the Texas Capitol Vietnam Veterans Monument project
and is the long-term education partner who will ensure educational materials are available to all teachers and students throughout the State as they teach and learn
about Texas Vietnam veterans and the Vietnam War. In addition to veteran collections, we continue to make accessible for researchers around the State and nation
with documents and materials that chronicle the experiences of Texas veterans as well as countless Vietnamese Americans in the State of Texas who became political
prisoners after the war and sought political asylum in the US. This collection of Vietnamese American materials was deemed by the Texas State Archivist to be
essential to preserving the history of underrepresented groups in our State. The Vietnam Archive also continued to leverage grant and other funding in support of the
Virtual Vietnam Archive and other projects.

The Vietnam Center and Archive will host two international conferences in the next two years, one of which we hope to co-host with the LBJ Library in Austin, TX,
and the Department of Defense National Vietnam War Commemoration Program. Information from these conferences will be shared with students and educators
around the State of Texas and across the nation. The Center will continue its support for student and faculty research at TTU and around the State. We will expand
and disseminate materials that support K-12 education regarding the Vietnam War throughout the State as well. The center will continue to coordinate international
student recruiting to bring more Vietnamese students to TTU and to create joint projects between TTU/TTUHSC and Vietnamese universities. Funding for a new
facility that will house both the Vietnam Center and Archive and a National Museum of the Vietnam War will be pursued. The Vietnam Archive will continue to
collect materials and interviews from veterans in Texas and across America, adding to the research materials available to TTU students and faculty. We will continue
to leverage federal and other research grants allowing us to continue mentoring and supporting TTU students and graduate assistants. Support will continue for US
government programs to include direct assistance to the Department of Defense as they continue the search for MIAs from the war and seek lessons from the Vietnam
War as they might apply to contemporary conflicts.

The Vietnam Center and Archive have become the most significant such program in the US. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the nation. The collections,
faculty, and staff are essential in preserving the history of Texas veterans as well as veterans throughout the US. The online archive currently contains more than 4
million pages of material freely available to teachers and students as they continue to learn about Texans who served and that important aspect of US history. The
online archive also hosts more than 2 million research sessions every year, making it one of the most widely used online historical resources in the world. These
resources are used by Texas students, educators, and veterans. The Department of Defense relies heavily on the Center as they continue to learn lessons from Vietnam
and to fully account for MIAs from the Vietnam War, to include 119 Texans. The Center has been designated the long-term educational partner for the Texas Capitol
Vietnam Veterans Monument to ensure students and teachers across the State of TX have the resources they need to teach and learn about the sacrifices of Texans
during that war.
TTU is the only academic institution in the US with a project so dedicated to this mission. Of equal importance, we are in the midst of raising private funds to build a
facility that will house the Vietnam Ctr and Archive as well as create a National Museum of the Vietnam War. Without continued State funding, none of this will be
possible.

WCOE will focus on solar material development; improvement of photovoltaic devices; storage devices for intermittent sources of energy; portable storage devices;
and other renewable energy areas including biofuels, wind and geothermal. WRC proposed research includes development of energy-efficient RO systems and other
advanced water treatment technologies for small applications, application of regional climate projections for local water availability, hydrologic services for the state’s
water yield enhancement program, and preparation of flash flood hazard indices. NWI plans expansion of the SWIFT facility through developing partnerships with
wind turbine manufactures. Acquisition of research grade wind data from extreme wind events will continue to aid engineering design. Quantification and mapping of
turbine inflow and wake flows using the TTUKa mobile research radar technology will mature and help decrease the cost of energy through the development of
efficient and smart wind farm systems. The West Texas Mesonet will enhance remotely sensed elevated wind measurements to support next-generation short-term
wind and energy forecasting. Smart grid systems are being developed using a real time simulator integrated with renewable energy sources and storage options. CBD
is expanding Internet access to biological databases, and publishing books on wildlife and Texas natural history, genetic profiles, and distribution of vertebrates and
invertebrates.

(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
This strategy provides significant leverage in attracting sponsored funding by providing matching funds for student and faculty support, infrastructural support for “in
kind” matching, and a base of research reputation, experience, expertise, and support staff attractive to external research sponsors. As a result of no or reduced
funding, important research of significant potential economic benefit to the State of Texas and the surrounding region would be eliminated. Additionally, valuable
research in alternate energy sources, support for wind energy-related workforce development, more efficient use of existing energy and water resources, and
environmental protection, restoration, and management will be lost.

(2) Mission of Special Item:
To enhance the Texas economy by creating and transferring intellectual property and by developing more effective workforces and marketing strategies. Funding from
this line item is directed to efforts to stimulate the economy of Texas by emphasizing areas of high economic value to the state. As a research seed program, this
funding has been instrumental in providing pilot data crucial to leveraging external funding from federal agencies and private foundations, as well as the endorsement
of industry partners and local, state and federal governments. Findings are used to create new knowledge enhancing the human condition for citizens of the State, with
the intended outcome of increased productivity, reduced burden on social and governmental services, and improved family relations. Marketing research on rural
tourism, the “greening” of the hospitality and healthcare industry, and preferences in organic food and food safety all provide important new data on evolving markets
and improving marketing efficiency. The latter have advanced our understanding of local food industries, attracted new investors to Texas, and developed
sophisticated techniques to improve product satisfaction, food safety, and profitability nationwide. This funding is also used to commercially develop and advance
promising technologies, enabling TTU to bring forward opportunities of significant potential economic benefit to the State of Texas, the nation and globe.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
Advances have been made in the commercialization of new technologies, such as developed turfgrass which has stimulated the creation of an estimated 100 additional
retail and marketing positions across Texas. Investments leading to license agreements have supported preclinical trials of novel antibiotics in mice. TTU has funded
the development of a patent pending microwave pasteurization prototype which was licensed to a local start-up company. Graduate fellowship investments enabled
through this line were made in areas of great importance to West Texas and the State, such as alternative energy, environmental toxicology, math, science,
engineering, and agriculture. This line has enabled targeted research in renewable energy technologies, as well as clean energy production. Agricultural production
research has been supported in the areas of genomics and breeding mechanisms, and large scale oilseed extraction. Rural tourism and wine industry research of the
Texas Wine Institute has provided market data to help the Texas wine industry grow to almost 300 wineries. The economic impact has grown to $1.8 billion and is
responsible for 10,000 full-time jobs. Additional advancements have been made in the areas of nanotechnology (patents filed), neuroimaging, early childhood and
career development, substance abuse, domestic violence, financial planning, obesity, family/individual mental health, the “greening” of the hospitality and healthcare
industries, and military family services.

This line item will support development of intellectual capital to fuel an emerging high-tech economy and create new employment opportunities in Texas and beyond.
The funding will be used to bridge the gap between proof of concept and commercial viability, and to support the technology transfer of TTU developed technologies
into the private sector. Pilot research supported by seed grants continues to serve as the foundation for proposals to be submitted to external agencies and to inform
potential industry contacts. Continued advances are expected in research pertaining to neuroimaging, nanotechnology, early child and career development, substance
abuse/recovery, domestic violence, financial planning/retirement, obesity and family/individual mental health. Increased productivity, reduced burdens on
social/governmental services, and improved family relations are all expected outcomes. Marketing research continues in the wine industry, rural tourism, the
“greening” of the hospitality and health care industries and organic food and food safety, providing data on new markets and improving marketing efficiency,
enhancing local food industries, attracting new investors, and developing techniques to improve product satisfaction, food safety, and profitability. The intent is to
create a comprehensive program to stimulate student entrepreneurialism, and to use this platform to more effectively develop companies to market TTU’s
faculty-developed IP.

By using this funding to advance new knowledge and develop promising technologies, TTU is able to bring forward opportunities of significant potential economic
benefit to the State of Texas and the surrounding region. Reducing this item would severely limit the opportunity for obtaining substantial external federal support for
such research and would decrease the level of sponsored projects entered into by the university in areas emphasized. TTU’s workforce research also addresses
important social and human concerns for Texas and the nation. The findings from such research programs have untold economic benefit to the State of Texas and
beyond. This funding has allowed TTU the ability to respond quickly to problems, opportunities, and issues of emerging state and national interest. Reduction of this
funding would adversely affect TTU’s ability to protect intellectual property.

$250,000
(2) Mission of Special Item:
Texas Tech University Center at Junction (TTUCJ) provides academic, research and engagement programs to expand educational, economic, workforce, and cultural
opportunities throughout the under-served Western Hill Country region. TTUCJ operates facilities for college-level students and faculty; K-12 students, teachers and
parents; and state, regional and community groups in an extraordinary learning environment offered by the adjacent South Llano River ecosystem. TUCJ is home to
the Llano River Field Station (LRFS) whose mission is to encourage, conduct, and coordinate basic and applied research projects dealing with water/watersheds,
exotic species, range management, natural resources, ecological restoration and environmental education. As the largest inland field station in Texas, bisected by the
headwaters of the South Llano River, a primary emphasis is placed on critical education, engagement and natural resource, water and watershed problems of the
biologically diverse Central Texas Hill Country, with expansion to encompass state, national and international water and environmental issues of common concern.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
TTUCJ partnered with TX A&M Forest Service western division to support onsite training for over 300 volunteer and professional firefighters to earn certifications
for regional fire prevention. TTUCJ operates the Outdoor School and since 2003, over 15,000 students have achieved enhanced academic performance from this
nationally recognized residential field science enrichment program for independent school districts. TTUCJ is a destination for scientific conferences and agency
workshops (TX Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), NRCS, National Park Service (NPS), Society of Ecological Restoration). Continued research, engagement
and stewardship projects are: 1) Watershed Planning/Education through stakeholder coordination under EPA’s Healthy Watersheds framework, 2) partnership with the
NPS for development/implementation of Discovery Point interpretive trail system, 3) a role with USGS S. Central Climate Science Ctr to evaluate watershed impacts
of climate change. Field stations have great capacity for important cultural and ecological roles in less populated critical headwater regions. New research projects are:
1) Guadalupe Bass Restoration, 2) State Energy Conservation Office awarded LRFS $230K for a 60,000 watt combined solar/wind demonstration project, $50K
match from TTU, 3) TPWD Landowner Incentive Program awarded $25K for demonstrations of best mgmt practices (e.g. native plant gardens, rainwater harvesting
systems for livestock, wildlife, management, brush control).
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Although, LRFS is relatively new (2005) in its mission as a field station, it has made significant progress in addressing 3 National Science Foundation core strategies
to: (1) Develop Intellectual Capital (2) Integrate Research and Education and (3) Promote Partnerships in a vast area of the Texas Hill Country that lacks a significant
academic presence, with the goal to develop and vertically integrate research, K-20+ education and outreach. Expansion of the LRFS facilities and services is planned
to provide a more comprehensive center for research, education and engagement. This is critical for LRFS research and workforce and professional development
training for state and federal agencies, including programs in sustainable development and natural resource management. Several important scientific conferences are
scheduled at TTUCJ and will have a major impact on local economic development. TTUCJ will continue to expand its role as a leader in science education through
its Outdoor School - serving and making a difference for 2,500 K-12 students (many Title I) and hundreds of teachers (including pre-service) per year. The OS is
increasing summer STEM camp offerings through 1) TTUISD international and state programs and 2) a unique and creative high school Outdoor Academy residential
immersion experience focused on the development of student’s skills in STEM fields for a college going culture. Non-credit programming for business and economic
development will be expanded.

(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
Consequences of not funding would be loss of important higher education functions in research, education and public engagement in the Texas Hill Country. The
residents of Junction and surrounding Kimble County would suffer severe negative economic impact through the loss of a major driver of regional economic
development (over $3 million per year impact). The Texas Hill Country, considered one of the worlds, “last great ecosystems”, is understudied, under multiple threats
and underserved by research based higher education institutions. Water, the environment and natural resources are critical issues for present and future generations of
Texans, especially with a projected doubling in population in 50 years. An ecologically literate public with a water/land ethic will be needed to make informed
decisions as resources become limited, with associated quality of life and public policy ramifications. TTUCJ and LRFS stewardship initiatives involve: 1) local, state
and national grants for research and engagement, 2) hosting professional scientific/educational conferences, 3) research and educational symposia, 4) developing
innovative partnerships, community engagement, water and watershed educational programs (Texas Water Symposium with Texas Public Radio, stewardship
workshops, Outdoor School partnerships and 5) serving on scientific and advisory committees (Senate Bill 3 in 2007, Edwards Aquifer Habitat Conservation Plan,
Texas Natural Resource/Environmental Literacy Plan).

(1) Year Special Item:
Original Appropriations:
TTU Hill Country Educational Network
2002
$500,000
(2) Mission of Special Item:
As part of the university distance commitment, Fredericksburg and Highland Lakes teaching sites offer a quality education to underserved and non-traditional students
throughout Texas. Centrally located sites provide opportunity for overcoming the three biggest barriers to the pursuit of higher education – class availability,
proximity to home, and cost.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
Provide access to academic programs for 14 Hill Country counties and the state. Teaching modalities are used to meet learner needs, comprised of online, interactive
video conferencing, Lync, and face-to-face instruction. Piloted the first widely distributed Lync-enabled courses, programs are accessible to place-bound students.
Degree programs are: Dr of Education in Educational Leadership, Master of Education in Educational Leadership with Principal Certification, BA or BS in University
Studies, Bachelor of General Studies, and BS in Multidisciplinary Studies (The Teacher Education Program, TEP).
TEP is a fast-track model where students graduating from a community college with an Associate of Arts transfer into TTU and complete upper-division coursework
in a year. Teacher candidates work to complete clinical experiences, including a year of student teaching, while completing coursework.
Development and implementation of programs that support the growing Texas wine industry include the Viticulture and Winemaking Certificate Programs.
Opportunities consist of a 2 year viticulture cohort training and winemaking certificate course. A full-time Enology instructor was hired to address industry training
needs through workforce and degree programs. An on-site teaching vineyard established for hands-on training is in its second season of growth. Grape production
from the vineyard will complete a student experience that encompasses a ground to bottle training opportunity.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
TTU is uniquely positioned to be a national leader in viticulture and enology by providing educational programs, research, and required workforce training that
supports the wine industry and economic development of Texas. The only one of its kind offered at a Texas university, the Winemaking Certificate program will
encompass training in wine production, wine analysis, quality control, and sensory evaluation.
TTU continues to be part of the growing economy by meeting market demand through workshops, workforce training, degree programs, study in Teacher preparation,
Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management, Journalism/Visual Media, Plant & Soil Science, Sociology, Criminology, Law, Mediation and upper level “Texas
Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education ” for commissioned officers.
Fredericksburg and Highland Lakes expand the reach of TTU beyond the Great Plains. With close proximity to major military installations in Austin and San
Antonio, TTU at Fredericksburg and Highlands is ideally located and technologically-enabled to offer a nationally competitive program and a 100% benefits-eligible
distance format for returning personnel in the military.
Other endeavors are community partnerships that increase success in higher education for the Hispanic learner. Through early advisement and inclusion of family,
TTU at Fredericksburg and Highland Lakes will be part of the educational solution for the fastest growing population sector in TX.

(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
The fastest growing rural area in Texas would continue to be underserved in terms of public higher education opportunities, including technical and workforce
development training, with subsequent negative impact on economic development in the region. In the past two years, enrollment has increased 116%. By introducing
new and maintaining current quality degree programs that utilize technologically innovative delivery strategies, Texas Tech at Fredericksburg and Highland Lakes
expect enrollment to continue in this upward trend. Continued funding will ensure the continuance of the current infrastructure, which supports growth and economic
prosperity through student participation in higher education, student success, excellence, and research in this underserved region.

Small Business Development Center
1990
$200,000
(2) Mission of Special Item:
The NWTSBDC, housed at Texas Tech University, provides in-depth business counseling and training for small businesses within the 95 county service area. The
services provided to the small business community have expanded beyond basic business counseling to include: International Trade Assistance, Manufacturing
Assistance, Government Contracting, Technology Transfer, Technology/Internet assistance, Defense Transition assistance, Minority Business Assistance, and
Community Economic Development and Rehabilitation.
The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program is the largest management and technical assistance program to the small business sector in the United
States. With the continuing struggle faced by the rural communities of Northwest Texas, the NWTSBDC has focused on rural small business development as its
primary role in supporting the economic growth of the region. Due to the disadvantages rural businesses face in today’s competitive business climate, the NWTSBDC
provides extensive counseling and training assistance to rural businesses in business plan development, e-commerce development and business competitiveness on a
global scale.
Over the next 2 years the Northwest Texas SBDC will counsel over 6,000 clients, provide training to over 9,000 small business seminar attendees, assist with over 600
new business starts, expansions and saves as well as assist in the creation of over 2,600 new jobs within the region.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
Since program start in 1987, the NWTSBDC has assisted, through the end of FY 13, in creating 29,722 new jobs. The NWTSBDC has also assisted in opening
8,507 new businesses. The NWTSBDC has counseled over 73,940 clients and trained over 128,874 seminar attendees.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Over the next 2 years the Northwest Texas SBDC will counsel over 6,000 clients, provide training to over 7,500 small business seminar attendees, assist with over

All of the Federal Funds that this program receives require either one-for-one or two-for-one matching. If this program is not funded by the State of Texas, an equal
amount of funding will be lost from Federal, Institutional and other Sources. This decrease in funding would result in a major reduction in program services and
would cause the NWTSBDC to serve 2,500 to 3,000 fewer small business clients, 5,000 to 8,000 fewer seminar attendees, create 250 to 350 fewer new businesses and
a loss of 1,200 to 1,800 new jobs created.

The Museum, Lubbock Lake Landmark, and National Ranching Heritage Center are trusted with the responsibility to preserve and protect collections, and to provide
professional stewardship for those objects placed in their care. That mandate will be disrupted as a consequence of reduced or eliminated funding. Immediate impact
of no funding will be loss of staff, accreditation, and forfeiture of collections held-in-trust on behalf of the state and federal governments. Public programming, as well
as the dissemination of information gained from collections, will be decreased or eliminated should funding be cut. Service to the University’s academic programs will
be eliminated, and the Museum Science & Heritage Management graduate programs and other TTU classes held at the locations will have to be discontinued. The
research and educational activities at the NRHC and the Lubbock Lake Landmark will be curtailed, and care of the cultural and natural heritage associated with these
locations will be dramatically reduced or terminated. The loss of public trust will be devastating nationally and internationally. If not funded, the International
Cultural Center will be inoperative and cannot fulfill the functions for which the building was constructed. The target groups to be served by the International Cultural
Ctr, especially the thousands of schoolchildren and TTU students who will be adversely affected by receiving reduced services and inadequate educational
opportunities.

(1) Year Special Item:
Original Appropriations:
Center for Financial Responsibility
2000
$240,000
(2) Mission of Special Item:
The Center for Financial Responsibility (CFR) mission is to help Texas citizens achieve personal responsibility in retirement planning, debt management and financial
literacy by conducting research, and delivery of financial knowledge to citizens, financial services professionals, fiduciaries and teachers. The CFR focuses on the
financial well-being of Texas citizens by emphasizing increasing savings and financial preparation for retirement. The CFR develops financial literacy resources to
prevent individual bankruptcies and financial hardships that negatively affect state and local economies. Texas institutions of higher education and those students
graduating with high debt loads from student loans and credit card abuse are served through research and service from the nationally recognized Red-to-Black
Financial Counseling Center (R2B) and continuing state-wide financial literacy research with Texas adults. The R2B model earns national recognition as a means of
increasing retention and matriculation rates. A third goal is to increase the number of academic programs in Personal Financial Planning (PFP) with emphasis on
minority institutions throughout Texas and focusing on availability of general education classes in personal finance to increase student body financial literacy.
Expanded assistance from CFR personnel to establish financial literacy courses and financial planning programs within minority colleges and universities throughout
Texas is on-going.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
•International Foundation for Retirement Education (InFRE) $100,000 grant for research into the scope, career opportunities and impact of the retirement industry.
•Charles Schwab Institutional $500,000 grant for research on financial issues directly related to economic well-being of Texas families and individuals.
•CFP Board $2,000,000 grant to develop the first doctoral degree in the U.S. in Personal Financial Planning thereby expanding faculty and research capabilities on
family and individual financial issues.
•ING $250,000 diversity initiative grant to TTU and Prairie View A&M to implement PFP programs at Historically Black College and Universities (HBCUs)
throughout the United States. The CFR is facilitating program development at minority-serving institutions to serve as centers to increase student financial literacy.
Hiring of TTU PFP doctoral graduates in minority institutions in Texas is building faculty and administrator awareness of careers.
•InFRE $100,000 grant for development of an online retirement literacy index for use by citizens to evaluate preparation for and understanding of retirement with
National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators (NAGDCA ).
•The CFR has worked with InFRE to implement the Certified Retirement Counselor designation into university curricula throughout Texas as a career path. NAGDCA
has provided ongoing financial support for those students through mentorships at their national meeting.

•Continued expansion of minority university (HBCUs and Hispanic-Serving Institutions) financial planning programs in Texas with particular emphasis on UT-Pan
American University (UTPA) with funding of $300,000 from industry and governmental sources.
•Acquisition of approximately $200,000 for model financial planning education with UTPA for education on student debt control to increase retention and graduate
program enrollment.
•Continued development of in-service education and delivery of financial literacy content to Texas teachers as well as curricula appropriate for delivery as part of the
increased financial literacy legislative requirement in Texas high schools and colleges. Increased financial literacy should improve teacher retention and teaching of
financial literacy in classes. Funding from the Financial Planning Association Foundation to deliver personal financial information to teachers throughout TX will
continued to be sought.
•Completion of a “general education” personal finance textbook cooperatively written by PFP faculty as a low-cost book available to TX higher education units, as
well as a revenue stream to the CFR and TTU.
•Continue a collaborative relationship with Agricultural & Applied Economics to receive USDA funding for research with agricultural majors intending to farm and
ranch in TX. The level of personal financial literacy will be assessed across 5 cooperating Texas universities.
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Special Item Funding:
An initial grant of $200,000 was from the International Foundation for Retirement Education. The leverage afforded by the state line item is essential to acquiring all
of the funding listed above.
(5) Formula Funding:
N
(6) Non-general Revenue Sources of Funding:
All sources of funds have been from corporate/industry sources including financial services foundations listed above. Federal sources are being pursued when
appropriate Requests for Proposals or specific initiatives are publicized at the federal level. Specific interest lies in pursuing financial literacy/planning research and
education on enlisted personnel in military installations as well as reservists in Texas with the intent to be on retention of personnel well as enhancing the family and
social satisfaction in the non-military aspects of their lives. Research efforts will be focused on those military installations where cooperating universities having
financial planning programs have chosen to participate in a multifaceted research and education outreach.
(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
The relatively small amount of funds requested are essential to providing an institutional framework to develop the truly unique services, research and programs that
brought national recognition to the PFP program and Texas Tech University as the best program in the U.S. from The New York Times, Financial Planning magazine
and the March issues of Investment Advisor. The funded and proposed initiatives involving the development of academic programs and research efforts in personal
financial planning and financial literacy in Texas minority colleges and universities and the resultant increase in financial literacy within general student populations
are a statewide benefit to citizens of Texas. The outcomes would be a significant leverage of this funding which will impact multiple public academic institutions
throughout Texas. The impact on Texas Tech minority graduate enrollment from those Texas colleges and universities has been a significant increase in our resident
MS students being from minority groups. The ability to leverage the funds has been proven every year in the form of the acquisition of additional monies that increase
the academic uniqueness, recruitment and retention of students, publication of research, and development of programs of direct benefit to Texas Tech as well as the
state of Texas.

$5,771,798
(2) Mission of Special Item:
The mission of this special line item is to support and enhance the academic research environment at Texas Tech University, preparing students to be the workforce of
tomorrow for Texas.
(3) (a) Major Accomplishments to Date:
This special item funding has supported strategic growth of faculty in fields critical to the success of the State’s workforce, enabling the University to recruit and
retain a body of diverse and distinguished scholars and researchers dedicated to academic research excellence. This funding has contributed essential infrastructure
support for high quality academic programs for undergraduate, graduate, and professional students, through academic program support, and necessary institutional
operations. This has enabled the University to increase both the quality and number of graduates for the State. Texas Tech University is recognized as a national
leader in Science-Technology-Engineering-Mathematics (STEM) initiatives that promote recruitment and retention of underrepresented groups in STEM fields.
(3) (b) Major Accomplishments Expected During the Next 2 Years:
Continue meeting ever changing global information needs by acquiring materials such as required on-line databases, improving infrastructure, hiring highly qualified
staff to provide assistance to students and researchers, and providing required services to the satellite campuses.
(4) Funding Source Prior to Receiving Special Item Funding:
The Institutional Enhancement special item was the result of the consolidation of certain types of special items by the 76th Legislature, and an increase of $1M per
year for academic enhancement purposes.
(5) Formula Funding:

(7) Consequences of Not Funding:
This line item contributes core academic and operational infrastructure support that enables Texas Tech University to provide an extensive selection of academic
research programs all dedicated to educational excellence: 106 undergraduate, 105 master's, and 56 doctoral degree programs. Through successful graduates and
research generated through these programs, Texas Tech University is able to provide long term economic benefit to the region and State. The current $14M over the
biennium for this special item represents the difference in the University’s ability to provide basic educational services, and in developing quality academic and
research programs. If this funding is reduced or eliminated the University’s academic support infrastructure would be compromised, resulting in fewer programs and
opportunities to produce outstanding leaders in the Texas workforce and innovative faculty of tomorrow.
